I did the following:

[pozzo:/usr/home/mefoster] ldd /usr/X11R6/bin/xperfmon++
/usr/X11R6/bin/xperfmon++:
        -lXaw.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw.so.6.1 (0x8022000)
        -lXt.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0 (0x8058000)
        -lXmu.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6.0 (0x8099000)
        -lX11.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.1 (0x80a9000)
        -lkvm.2 => /usr/lib/libkvm.so.2.0 (0x813f000)
        -lc.3 => /usr/lib/libc.so.3.0 (0x8143000)
[pozzo:/usr/home/mefoster]
[pozzo:/usr/home/mefoster] strings /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0 | grep

realloc
_realloc
[pozzo:/usr/home/mefoster] strings /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0 | grep
perform
Cannot perform %s
[pozzo:/usr/home/mefoster]

I'm sort of new to FreeBSD, and not very expert at unix debugging, but
I will keep looking into it and submit a problem report if I find
anything.
